to avoid texture I usually rub the paper with my finger lol

I agree with the others, you can try different sorts of paper and a smoother tooth will definitely help with that. But I also agree that there is nothing wrong with texture. Another note, shading with pencil to get a really even sense of values is very labor intensive, meaning it takes a long time of going back and forth taking out dark spots with an eraser, smoothing bits with a shading stick (if that’s your sort of thing) and lightly shading with the pencil once again. When I get to a point where I’m laying trying to even out the values (picture 1) and get the transitions smooth I’ll take my kneaded eraser and roll a fine tip on it so I can pick out the dark spots (picture 2), sometimes a bit too much pencil will come off in the process (picture 3) so I’ll switch back to the pencil and very lightly run over again to try and get that even value I’m looking for (picture 4). It takes time, but it can be really relaxing. I’ll constantly go back and forth between laying pencil down or picking it up with an eraser. It’s a dance between the two. But in the end it can look very, very nice to have such smooth transitions and even values built up. And just to clarify, this is not the only way to approach the situation. Lot’s of people use other tools to help, I’ve seen sponges, shading sticks, hard mono erasers, fingers, newsprint, charcoal dust, etc… It takes a bit of exploring to find a process you enjoy. And also not everything needs to be that baby-bottom smoothness, it depends on the person, the approach, the individual piece, etc… Hope I’ve helped.

I think you need to use smooth paper then you will get smooth texture

Hi Anubhav, The texture depends on the grain of the paper, the rougher the paper the more texture you will get. If you want to limit the texture (it's personal taste, I like it) just use smooth paper and apply less pressure on the pencil. :)

There is nothing wrong with textures: respect your materials! I think it is funny how some try to get rid of textures in natural media, while digital artists do their best to get texture, simulating natural media.

You can use smoother paper like bristol or hot press watercolor paper, you need a very sharp pencil, you need to go lightly, slowly, and patiently, and let the graphite fill out the texture. If you use a blending stump you still want to be very gentle with it, and not smash the paper texture. You can watch Stephen Bauman talk about and demonstrate this process in many of his videos. Also with a brush you can get some fairly light tones, and can control the value pretty well in that lighter range. You can also use graphite powder, if you need a large area of tone. You can use chamois cloth. You can use a cotton swab. You can use crumpled paper. You can experiment!
